A graph I just generated while messing around with the high-granularity
data we used in the monthly metrics readership report:
http://ironholds.org/misc/pageviews_trends.png
The thing I find really interesting about this is not the trend (mobile up,
desktop down. As Lehrer said, this we know from nothing!) but the patterns.
Mobile clusters far more tightly than desktop does.
I'm not sure what this means (desktop users are weird? There's a lot of bot
traffic we're not catching? That's my guess) but I thought it was pretty
and might provoke some hypothesising. So, here you go!
